  1. SOLD This pistol belonged to my grandfather. I believe it's chambered for a .32 S&W Short CF. It is tight and it does shoot because I shot it about 50 years ago. I think the grips had been changed many, many years ago from a slightly different model since there are tiny gaps at the very top. It has a serial # on the butt. I will consider reasonable offers but no trades. Payment via PayPal (buyer doesn't need an acct; just a CC or checking acct.) or cash only. Must be picked up near 67th Ave. and Camelback. $100 A bit of history

    Indeed. I found a similar fate when I was looking for .300 WM loads, and that was many years ago.

    Federal makes more than 25 different subspecies of its 7mm mag loads, some with similar looking but different bullets.

    One ugly critter

    When I first came across the photo of this thing, I figured it was some taxidermist's creation. But then I did a bit of reseach and found out it's a for real!
  6. GAME AND FISH NEWS Oct. 27, 2020 Final reminder: Thursday is last day to update credit card information for 2021 spring hunts Applicants also can purchase PointGuard to protect bonus points PHOENIX — Time is running out for hunters who applied for 2021 spring hunt permit-tags to update their credit card or debit card account information, as well as purchase PointGuard to protect their bonus points. The deadline is 11:59 p.m. (Arizona time) Thursday, Oct. 29. The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) encourages applicants to keep their credit card and debit card account information current. If payment is declined at the time of the draw, the application will not be drawn. The department no longer calls applicants to obtain payment on drawn applications where credit cards or debit cards have failed. Applicants who have been issued a new credit card or debit card, a new expiration date, or had a change to their card’s number should visit https://draw.azgfd.com/Payment/Update. The last name and order number on the applicant’s draw receipt (sent by email after submission of the application) are required to update the credit card or debit card on file. For applicants who can’t locate their draw receipt, or might have deleted it from their email account, AZGFD is available to update card information by calling (602) 942-3000, option “5,” from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Note: It is important to update payment information for each species for which an application has been submitted. Also, if a credit card or debit card has been used for multiple applications, the applicant is responsible for notifying the appropriate banking institution that multiple charges could be processed simultaneously from AZGFD. Meanwhile, applicants can purchase PointGuard as part of their application through 11:59 p.m. (Arizona time) Thursday, Oct. 29. A free AZGFD portal account is no longer required to purchase PointGuard. A portal account is still needed for those hunters wishing to view their draw results, however. Visit accounts.azgfd.com/Account/Register and complete the required fields. PointGuard is a great way to protect bonus points for when “life happens.” PointGuard is $5 per species, per applicant, and ensures if a successful applicant is unable to participate in a hunt for any reason, the accumulated bonus points that were expended to draw that hunt permit-tag will be reinstated. Visit www.azgfd.com/hunting/pointguard/, or call (602) 942-3000, for more information. AZGFD will post an announcement on its website and social media channels when draw results are available.

    22 mag for dad

    I owned one like below for many years. It was a good shooter, even with the cheapie Weaver scope I had on it. Sold it and several other firearms to finance my trip to Africa. I also had the Single-Six combo, which killed my first bobcat at the now-gone Big Saddle Camp on the N. Kaibab in the '60s.. http://www.millerrodandgun.com/DetailPages/Winchester-255-22mag_133772.htm Other options: https://www.henryusa.com/henry-rifles-and-shotguns/ https://ctfirearmsauction.com/auction_item/winchester-9422m-22-magnum-lever/

  22. GAME AND FISH NEWS Oct. 21, 2020 BASF's 300-yard range to reopen Friday by online reservation only Shooting facility to maintain public health, safety protocols PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department has announced the world-class Ben Avery Shooting Facility (BASF) will reopen its 300-yard range Friday — by online reservation only. Customers can begin reserving shooting times at www.azgfd.gov/scheduleashoot. To ensure public health and safety protocols are observed, and to maximize opportunities for all who choose to utilize the 300-yard range, customers should become familiar with the following: Visit www.azgfd.gov/scheduleashoot now to reserve one of seven paper-target or seven steel-target lanes, based on availability beginning Friday, Oct. 23. The range will be open from 6:45 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. (1 p.m. is the latest shooting start time) Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Nov. 29, then Saturdays and Sundays only beginning Dec. 5. A shooter will have one hour, 45 minutes, which includes 15 minutes to set up and 15 minutes to pack up. A shooter can expect a minimum of three 15-minute shooting periods, with the possibility of more depending on how much time shooters spend downrange. Note: Reservations are time-certain.
